[HIham] Ham radio display/demonstration -- Oahu, Oct. 30

[Ralph Toyama]

The 15th annual Leeward Community College Family Fun & Craft Fair will 
be held on Saturday, October 30th, from 9 am to 2 pm. This event 
features games, food, crafts, entertainment, and interactive 
educational activities.

Last year, one of educational activities was an amateur radio 
demonstration.  It turned out rather successfully, with about a dozen 
hams coming down for part or all of the event, and with a number of 
attendees showing great interest at our display.  Participants brought 
enough equipment to set up several stations, and we were able to 
demonstrate HF, VHF/UHF, IRLP, and Morse code.

This year, the committee in charge of the educational activities has 
asked me to see if there is interest in the ham radio community to do 
this again.  I'm looking for hams willing to come down and spend a few 
hours talking to the public and conducting demonstrations.  I'm also 
looking for equipment, ideas, and display materials.  We'll have 
tables, chairs, electricity, and a covered area to work in.

If anyone is willing to participate in this activity, or has any 
questions, please contact me at the e-mail address shown in the 
signature file below, or call me at my office at 455-0682.
